Mighty nature and exciting cultural history

If you take the ferry from Gudvangen, the start of the cruise will be sail through the narrow, majestic Nærøyfjord. When the snow melts in June, you can see up to 25 waterfalls, including Kjelfossen waterfall in Gudvangen, which has a free fall of 840 metres.

Further on, you will enter the Aurlandsfjord, which is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the end of this fjord, the ferry will sail past the small village of Frønningen.

Fun facts

Both ferries are early HSD ferries and have many enthusiasts around Norway.

Bleia

Kaupanger Stave Church

In the idyllic village of Kaupanger you can, for example, see one of the 28 preserved stave churches in Norway, dating back to the middle of the 12th century.
